The following are three theories on Saturday, July 13th’s ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT of Donald Trump. People always want to find simple solutions and move on. Yet, I like to think through all possibilities.
Therefore, in an attempt to resist the easy way out, I present three possibilities as to why someone from “the power system,” an American Citizen, or Donald Trump himself put the pawns in place to send bullets toward Donald Trump and into innocents seated behind him that day.
…
Why an American Citizen would Assassinate Trump
He is a divider. He presents himself as a savior, emotionally dividing his followers from non-believers.
He has a documented history of saying things like, “I will be phenomenal to the women. I mean, I want to help women.”
” No matter what you do — guns, no guns — it doesn’t matter. You have people that are mentally ill. And they’re gonna come through the cracks. And they’re going to do things that people will not even believe are possible.”
“If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?”
“If you look at Saddam Hussein, he killed terrorists. I’m not saying he was an angel, but this guy killed terrorists.”
“Sorry losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.”
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
The quotes go on and on. I fathom that if you did a browser search on something you strongly believe in, Trump would have a negative quote attached to it. But that is just my opinion — one quick way to find out, though.
Yep, I did a quick search about Veterans. Apparently, I am a generational sucker and loser.
It is easy to find quotes and disparaging remarks on the internet. Someone who feels insulted, demeaned, or dishonored by someone who is unapologetically okay with insulting, demeaning, or dishonoring them can easily be triggered by Trump.
Luckily for me, I care not what he thinks of me.
I can even remind us all of The Apprentice. He humiliated many hard-charging A-type personalities when they were usually insulted during the firing process.
Let’s combine all the information above with modern American society.
Let that thought percolate.
Let’s throw in that approximately 30% of humans have some level of psychopathic tendencies.

And that according to experts, “psychopathy spans socioeconomic status, race, gender.”

Narcissism is on the rise in America. It is an unintended side effect of excess and competition for more.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” hit overdrive with the invention of social media. Not only are many in competition with the people living next door, but they are now in subconscious competition with people from all over the world. Anyone with a social media account has access to anyone willing to post their lifestyle. Many social media influencers’ online lives are as accurate as reality TV and similarly accepted as reality.
With social media, someone living in a leaky-roofed single-wide trailer on a gravel lot in the middle of a big city can see pictures of someone dwelling in the same city driving around in a Lamborghini and having $40-dollar drinks with their friends while pushing custom-made clothes through a sponsorship.
So, a brain bombarded with information on a human like Trump, who is thriving on using the media’s stage to demean people of many backgrounds and attesting to his superiority over others, can quickly become a target by someone else that has a combination of mental health issues, genetic or societal, in a country where many are in survival mode due to societal teachings, lack of work that provides enough income to meet Maslov’s basic needs, combined with an onslaught of internet information designed to disgruntle, can justify shooting at a man like Trump who unapologetically represents everything that they perceive is oppressing them.
I’m surprised no one has tried to assassinate him before now, although I do not recommend the action.
…
Why “The Power System” Would Attempt to Assassinate Trump
He is crass and outspoken about how the system works, “It’s rigged against our citizens.”
He rallies the citizens against the system, which scares the dickens out of those who like the way the system works. Those who make billions of dollars from how it works don’t want him to “Fix the system so it works equally” for all.
A huge part of Trump’s political campaign relies on the human belief that the system intentionally holds its citizens in a place of lack, that the system itself does not want them to succeed, and that the system keeps people hungry on purpose so they will continue producing money for them.
“No one knows the system better than me. Which is why I alone can fix it.”
Trump attests that he is the one and only. He says that those currently running the system are against your success, and he can change that. Trump speaks frankly about his opinions on everything and is a disrupter of the status quo, the current way of doing things. He attests he can save us from the system.
We should clarify that “the system” is run by humans — others with thoughts, feelings, and desires — not Artificial Intelligence. These humans are as fallible as any other citizen and are driven toward their version of success.
Now is a perfect time to introduce the quote, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (Written by John-Dalberg Acton in 1887)
Suppose a human is in a place of power and feels the untouchability of it. The power of I can do what I want whenever I want, then they tend to want to stay there.
Imagine, if you will, having the money and influence to do anything you want, “good or bad.” Would you give up this power with ease?
You have trained people at your disposal who are paid to do your bidding. You are bombarded with companies, lobbyists, and individuals offering you money, positions, stocks in companies, and anything at their disposal to influence your vote on a topic.
You helicopter to and from work, your vacation island, and Thanksgiving Dinner.
You have more money than you can spend.
Feeling the power, wanting more, and staying where you have that power are paramount. Your dark side starts running the show.
Donald Trump is credited by many for the events on January 6th. For the first time, those in power felt the energy, frustration, and anger of the American populace enter their workplace. The crowd of 2,000 plus raced up the steps of their sanctuary and invaded the insides of the Capital Building, an overwhelming force that, to their surprise, found themselves inside the bowels of the American government. They posed inside offices, took objects from American history, and posted them online for all to see — a testament to the power of the people.
Those in charge cannot have that, and to their dismay, the justice system has not prevented Donald Trump from once again rising in power and influencing American politics.
Statistics say more than one person in American politics with unlimited power and influence is capable of psychopathic acts. Documented history shows us that those in power have been known to enlist scapegoats to throw to the wolves once their sniper skills fulfill the mission of eliminating disrupters.
…
Trump faked the Assassination Attempt
Here is the wild card of the three. Trump, feeling himself falling from favor after losing a court case and under an onslaught of negative media online, needs something to give a dramatic boost to his ego, following, and reelection.
This is undoubtedly to be brief. It is hard enough to think about a fellow citizen or political leader sending bullets towards a human standing in front of innocents. It’s more challenging to believe that a human running for political office would be narcissistic and psychotic enough to send bullets toward them and into innocents sitting behind them, yet it is possible.
Since anything is possible, most motivations listed in the other two scenarios also apply here.
Someone who sees themselves as a savior, or at least presents themselves that way in media, could take any action to give them cred and test the belief that they are safe. It is okay to hire a sniper to fire bullets at you and cut yourself with a razor blade as they fire into the innocents behind him, adding them as martyrs to your cause.
It is possible. Donald Trump would have to be on the maniacal level of world mastermind villains found in many tales. He would have to be deeply narcissistic, psychopathic, and desperate to prove he is the one — the savior of all.
…
All of the above is possible, as are many more possibilities. In this age of sensationalism, false flags, and disinformation farms, will we ever receive an answer presented as data?
I doubt it.
